garyw Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The eternal question!its like any thing else -a car- a bike- a painting its only worth what you or anyone else is prepared to pay.if you break down the parts involved and i dont know there costs BALDIE OR BROWN DOG will be better at that,then its a expensive bit of kit to put together but as i assume its 2nd hand then it removes the new tag,and makes it cheaper.if its what you are after and you think the price is fair and you can afford it then buy it! the old saying rings true"dont look a gift horse in the mouth" you may regret it later.

MOOSE Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi Skany Can you give some details about the magazine, is it detachable - type - capacity etc ? Has the magazine ever been fitted, if so does it feed reliably, Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skany Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Its a internal bdl type mag guys never tried the mag but would have thought a mag mod/conversion would be required to do so! (hence follower) cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Dont know what you paid new price Andy, but my guess would be based on this Lawton Action 1000 Barrel - 250 Trigger - 200 Stock - 600 Rail - 100 Maybe overall cost new was circa 3500 after one factors in the build costs (you could pay double or even more depending who did it ...) So with 400 rounds through it and in (as it looks) mint condition, id value it at around 2200 - 2500 Whether you got that for it is up to who is in the market for a quality rifle...

forbie Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Always thought as a rule of thumb for secondhand prices = new price x 0.7 or if secondhand to start with a bit less than you paid all inline with current scondhand values of course. Some seem to think that just because it cost them x amount it should be a percentage of that eh not if you paid far too much for it to begin with.

maespant Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 With a 22" Barrel I get 3000 fps from 75 grain V-max which is devastating for foxes Only way I could get to load from magazine was to fit a AICS stock to it with AICS Mag system Would like to change to a McMillan A5 with AICS bottom metal work, but time will tell!!
